I did this photo essay in collaboration with Indian NGO Apne Aap Worldwide to showcase this ostracized community close to Delhi. The full set consists of 38 pictures and can be seen here : http://bernardhenin.photoshelter.com/gallery/G0000xcA8DFhn1xw
(A PDF version of this work or physical book can be provided on request).

GB road is notorious for being the center of prostitution in the capital of India. Thousands of woman and children are being trafficked every year into the brothels on this long road.
These pictures were taken in a moving taxi with an Indian woman by my side to avoid being detected. My objective was to showcase the despair and atmosphere that envelops this area. This is a small snapshot of the area of course and is the beginning of a project I want to execute through the next few years.
Thanks for the Indian NGO Apne Aap Worldwide in helping me to execute this photo essay.
